Trade Rumors

Recommended Posts

No one is officially on the block for the eagles.

but many reporters have put forth possibilities of some guys due to depth of the roster.

Vaitai (OT/OG) has trade value, they won’t give him away. But for a 4th or more they would at least listen.  Since that’s around what they could expect as a comp pick at some point.

Wisnewski (interior OL) could be available for a team in need of a Vet with starting experience. Would be super low level. Trading him would actually get more money off the books so they might just do it for a conditional 7th or pick swap.

Smallwood and Adams (RB) have been talked about as throw ins for teams like the Texans who might need a runner and won’t have waiver priority. They don’t really carry much value themselves. 

Agholor is on the last year of his deal and will have his role in the slot shrink this year as the eagles go two tight ends more. Was the talk of a lot of trade discussions earlier, but would take a good offer to do it.

some weird rumblings with Alshon being potentially traded. I think him and Carson have never fully clicked, but they’ve been on opposite healing cycles a lot. Some speculation he was one of the guys frustrated with Wentz and talking on that report besides the obvious one being Golden Tate. Again would have to be big to do it, trading a top weapon when you have eyes on the Super Bowl is counterintuitive. Would have to be for a player.

we also have corners aplenty, and could probably move at least one.

Vaitai has looked really good this preseason.

Vaitai, Smallwood/Adams, Agholor, and a 2nd for Clowney TBH.

How has Pryor looked?

Up and down camp, we have too many good OLineman at this point, need to move some.
They also just brought that Toth kid from the Army, who has T/G versatility. Which I'd think was done with the idea of keeping him considering the hoops they had to jump through.

then you'll get some stuff like this, or a lot of penalties

God, no.

We went over this - unless you're moving Lane Johnson, Andre Dillard or Jason Peters and picks/players, Clowney isn't available.

There is zero incentive to move Clowney for anything less than an elite and/or ascending LT. The Texans have the cap space to take Clowney two more times over the next two years so trading Clowney is completely contingent on getting the right guy - not just A guy.

All of them would need Clowney + a 1st coming back to even start the conversation TBH.

If you guys want to get nothing for Clowney and just let him walk then by all means go ahead. The Texans don't really hold as many cards as you think you do in this case. My guess is the Texans wait to the deadline, trade him if they're not in a position to make the playoffs. Hold onto him if they are, and then try to tag him again and then he holds out next season.

Well, gosh, do you think that Houston might be able to pry Chad Wheeler away from the Giants for Clowney???
